==== Ferrous iron uptake via protein transporters in land plants and chlorophytes ==== Distant homologues of the metal ion transporters [[Zinc transporter protein|ZIP]] in [[land plants]] and [[chlorophytes]] have converged in structure, likely to take up Fe<sup>2+</sup> efficiently. The IRT1 proteins from ''[[Arabidopsis thaliana]]'' and [[rice]] have extremely different amino acid sequences from ''[[Chlamydomonas]]''{{'}}s IRT1, but their three-dimensional structures are similar, suggesting convergent evolution.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Rodrigues |first1=Wenderson Felipe Costa |last2=Lisboa |first2=Ayrton Breno P. |last3=Lima |first3=Joni Esrom |last4=Ricachenevsky |first4=Felipe Klein |last5=Del-Bem |first5=Luiz-Eduardo |date=2023-01-10 |title=Ferrous iron uptake via IRT1 / ZIP evolved at least twice in green plants |journal=New Phytologist |volume=237 |issue=6 |pages=1951β1961 |doi=10.1111/nph.18661 |pmid=36626937 |doi-access=free }}</ref>
